If you are here, you must watch this...

This video presents Sherman Poppen, the inventor of the Snurfer, and the evolution of the style and substance of extreme sport, snowboarding.  His dream of surfing from the shores of Lake Michigan, and pursuit of fun for his kids and the light turned on - the dune behind his house, was a wave.  A wave you could ride all day long.  And the Snurfer was born.  You can feel both the punk rock elements in the roots of snurfing, and the soul as Poppen discovers the Zen of snowboarding at 65 years old.
